THE SCORING
3 Equal Competition Phases:
⅓ Fitness, ⅓ Evening Gown, ⅓ Interview
Each contestant will compete in three equal phases of competition: Interview, Activewear (Teen)/Swimsuit (Miss), and Evening Gown.
The results from these phases of competition are weighted equally, and the contestants with the highest composite scores become semifinalists.
There is no performing talent competition.
No previous pageant experience is necessary.
Interview
Evening Gown
Swim/Activewear
Pageant judges spend time with each delegate to learn about her successes, talents, goals, and ambitions. Interviews are conducted individually in front of the judging panel round robin style in a private and closed setting. You will have a two to three-minute interview with the panel of judges.
Attention is focused on beauty of the face, physical fitness, stage presence and the confidence with which each contestant carries herself. Numerical measurements are not considered in the judging.
Each contestant wears a gown she has chosen for herself. Attention is focused on each contestant’s overall appearance, self-confidence, and the beauty she brings to the gown of her choice. Judges are instructed to evaluate the contestant, not the dress she is wearing.
